Victor Frankenstein describes his childhood in Italy, where his family took in an orphan named Elizabeth. He enjoyed his childhood but mentions having a violent temper. This inspired his interest in science and the human soul. He became fascinated with anatomy and spent long hours studying it. His mother wanted him to marry Elizabeth. However, Victor went to the University of Ingolstadt, where he isolated himself in his scientific work and created a monster, which would later haunt and frame him for murders. His childhood and creations led to the tragic events that followed.

Victor Frankenstein begins by describing to the reader his
childhood. He explains how his mother took in an orphan,
Elizabeth, when they were in Italy when he was five. He talks
about how he had a great childhood and was very happy. He
does, although, briefly mention that his "temper was sometimes
violent," and so he shifted that passion onto learning (Shelley
23). Victor says he is very interested in the soul of man and the
"physical secrets of the world" (Shelley 23). This foreshadows
what happens later on; Victor's creation of an animate creature.
He was interested in the anatomy of humans and spent very long
studying it. His mother, throughout Victor's life, said that she
wanted him and Elizabeth to get married; it was her dying wish.
Instead, Victor goes away to Ingolstadt to attend the university
there. While in Ingolstadt, he isolates himself from society and
focuses on this scientific project. He worked so hard on it that
he seemed "to have lost all soul or sensation but for this one
pursuit" (Shelley 40). He created this monster that began to
haunt him. If he had not created this thing,
his brother, William, would still be alive. Also if the creature
did not exist, Justine, who was living with Victor's family,
would not have been framed for the murder.
If he had stayed in Geneva and married Elizabeth, he would not
have had the time or the ability to isolate himself like he did.
The events in his childhood like bringing Elizabeth into their
family and his mothers death led Victor to where he is now,
which led him to Ingolstadt to create this creature. Even though
he only mentioned his temper briefly, it may have been worse
than that, and he may have needed this distraction in order to
stay sane, although it ended up depriving him of his health.

Web 2.0: 2001–Present Assignment Overview It is a truism in the study of human technology that any tool that gets the public’s attention will eventually be used for purposes entirely unforeseen by its inventor(s) and probably contrary to the general public interest. This has certainly been the case with information technologies and the Internet. E-mail is great, but spam is not. Online video of the grandkids is wonderful; online pornography accessible to little Johnny, not so much. Despite much breast beating, it is difficult to have the good without the bad—and even differentiating the good from the bad is often a matter of opinion. As Miles’ Law says, “Where you stand depends upon where you sit.” Recently, we have become so saturated with and dependent upon social media such as Facebook and Twitter that we have not always noticed the potential “dark side”—most specifically, the ability to use these tools not only to connect individuals in cyberspace but also to mobilize groups for action in the real world. One example is the “flash mob”—defined most generally as a group of people voluntarily assembled at a particular place and time for a particular purpose, coordinated through shared access to social media. This is not altogether a new invention—the telephone and, before that, the telegraph or even a good strong voice have been tools for assembling flash mobs in the past. But what has been recently discovered is how easy it is using modern social media, and how effective such mobs can be. As we said, whether or not you consider this to be a good development or a bad development depends a lot on how you evaluate the purpose of the mob. Public assemblies to install democracy in an authoritarian state sound pretty good; assembling gang members to break windows and burn cars would not strike most of us as all that great.

Issue 56 on the JC Website titled Evaluating and Responding to Suicide Risk - Tools and Practices for Consideration Sharing the rulemaking information with the other leaders is very collaborative and respectful leadership as a CEO this is what will make your goals, missions, and objectives work together seamlessly. We would like to thank-you for your request on needing some information regarding rulemaking and as a team we have decided to discuss with you about the JC Website, “Evaluating and Responding to Suicide Risk.” In this report we will begin to discuss how the rulemaking process relates to the health care organizations, how this rule was implemented, which agencies or regulatory bodies will be responsible for overseeing it, and how the healthcare organizations or healthcare industries are impacted by the rules. We as a team think this JC Website has many tools and practices for consideration about the rulemaking information and will definitely be very helpful within your request on rulemaking within your healthcare organization. Explain how the rule making process relates to health care organizations ( DEBORAH ) Relating Rule-Making Processes to Health Care Organizations Inpatient suicides in health care organizations although rare are a traumatic sentinel events. Health care facilities are required to operate under transparently disclosing all events to the public. Hospitals in the United States report sentinel events to The Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO). JCAHO complied this information and prepared a root cause analysis to determine if the current procedure that the organization has in place could have prevented the incident. A 1998 JCAHO sentinel event alert report stated that inpatient suicide most frequently occurred in psychiatric hospitals followed by general hospitals and residential care facilities ( Tishler & Staatas, 2008). Health care organizations are responsible for decreasing the likelihood of sentinel events, which includes a suicide crisis. Factors such as patient care, staff training, organizational policies, and the hospital environment all relate to the suicide rule-making process. Suicides are difficult to predict and prevent therefore organizations must create rules and form policies to prevent the risk of suicide. The impetus for this transparent movement was sparked largely in the 1990s when two prominent reports summarizing the number and type of errors committed by hospitals were published ( Tishler & Staatas, 2008). The reports summarized suicide events that required immediate investigation. A rulemaking process and protocol was established to assess for risk and safety of patients. The protocol for suicide risk assessment relates to health care organizations as a safety precaution to decrease the number of inpatient suicides. Therefore the Joint Commission established Issue 56, Evaluating and Responding to S.

We often imagine our cities as places where people from differing cultural, ethnic, social, political, and religious backgrounds come together and enrich the lives of one another. This is a model of cultural symbiosis. However, the chapter, “The Industrial City,” from your textbook paints quite a different picture of our early cities. Review this chapter and choose one of the following writers from this chapter: Flower Addams Strong Steffens Plunkitt Mumford Then, address the following: Summarize the selected writer’s understanding and experience of city life. Analyze whether he or she agrees or disagrees with the idea that all people—regardless of race, nationality, or religion—experience cities as vibrant sites of cultural exchange and enrichment. Be sure to cite specific details from the text that either support or critique this romantic view of city life. Explore the potential limitations of this author’s point of view. Are there things that he or she fails to take into account regarding city life? If so, what does he or she fail to mention and why? Write a 2–3-page paper in Microsoft Word format.

We have two readings on immigration, ch. 9 and the chapters from Kosel. Migration obviously happens whether we "like" it or not--if not, humans wouldn't be spread out all over the earth. People moving around is the original migration, happening first hundreds of thousands of years ago. Only in the last few hundred years has the idea that it can and should be limited come to be. (Even in the first hundred years or so of US history, there were virtually no efforts to "control" migration in any meaningful way, until the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882). So while people moving around is much older than the contemporary state system, it is often seen as a threat to it; one that they try to, if not stop, at least control from time to time. Let's kick off this discussion with a consideration of what the benefits and drawbacks of migration, especially from poor countries to rich ones, actually are. Based on the readings, what are the biggest advantages and drawbacks? Which are greater, from the perspective of overall human development, in your view? reading materials: Snarr and Snarr, ch. 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, Khalid Koser, International Migration: A Very Short Introduction , ch. 3 (“Migration and Globalization” and ch. 4 (“Migration and Development”) .

Fill-in You are now studying the process of mitosis in the simple organism, R. catus , and have prepared microscope slides of fixed (preserved) and treated these cells with DAPI, a chemical that will mark chromosomes/DNA of a cell under fluorescent microscopy. R. catus only have two chromosomes. You also have the ability identify the location of two unlinked genes A and B ( A is dominant, a is recessive; B is dominant b is recessive); this facilitates your ability to genotype the cells. You have forgotten to label your slides while preparing them and attempt to sort the stage of the cell cycle that each may contain: G1, S, G2, Mitosis (Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase).

Watch The quiet american movie and answer 4 questions Questions: 1) Summarize the historical context of the movie, connecting it (the historical context) with specific passages from our readings in Heidhues and the Lawrence text (include page numbers from the readings). What I mean by ‘historical context’ is, for example, what is happening in Vietnam at the time the movie is set, what countries are involved and why , what is going on ‘behind the scenes’ and so on. This section should be the longest of your responses at about 200 words. 2) Early in the movie, after Pyle and Fowler have just met, they are walking down a street in Saigon and Pyle is saying that Vietnam needs ‘democracy.’ What is Fowler’s reaction to this statement, and who does he say would be elected if Vietnam had a democratic election? 3) What happens when Fowler journeys up to Phat Diem and goes on patrol with French soldiers? What does he see, and whom do the French soldiers blame for what has happened? What is Fowler’ s response re: where to place the blame? 4) Who is General Th é , and what is Pyle’s/the U.S.’s relationship with him and his so-called ‘Third Force’? 5) After the movie has ended, reflect back on the three main characters. Graham Greene clearly intended the characters to symbolize larger themes, i.e. Pyle representing America and American attitudes, Fowler representing Anglo-European ‘old ways’ and colonialism, and Phuong representing Vietnam. Discuss each character’s attitudes, motivations, and behaviors in terms of the larger symb olism of their respective roles. .
